Close this window Collection Name: Directory of Open Access Journals: Biology and Life Sciences Collection Description: The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ): Biology and Life Sciences indexes open-access journals devoted to anatomy, biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, cytology, genetics, microbiology, physiology, and zoology. DOAJ aims to increase the visibility and ease of use of all open-access scientific and scholarly journals that use a quality-control system, worldwide and in all languages.

All original research articles in the 187 journals published by BioMed Central are immediately and permanently available online without charge or any other barriers to access. This commitment is based on the view that open access to research is central to rapid and efficient progress in science and that subscription-based access to research hinders scientific communication. All research articles and most other content in BioMed Central's journals are fully and rapidly peer-reviewed. For all of the medical BMC journals and some other titles, reviewers are asked to sign their reviews, and the prepublication history of each paper (submitted versions, reviewers' reports, authors' responses) is posted along with the published article. Included among the many journals published by BioMed Central is the group of online BMC journals, which cover the whole of biology and medicine, as well as many other online or online/print journals, including Journal of Biology, Genome Biology, and Arthritis Research and Therapy. BioMed Central also publishes Faculty of 1000, the leading literature-evaluation service.

A significant barrier to translational research is the lack of uniformly structured data across related biomedical domains. The Semantic Web is an extension of the current Web that enables navigation and meaningful use of digital resources by automatic processes. It is based on common formats that support aggregation and integration of data drawn from diverse sources. A variety of technologies have been built on this foundation that, together, support identifying, representing, and reasoning across a wide range of biomedical data. The Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group (HCLSIG), set up within the framework of the World Wide Web Consortium, was launched to explore the application of these technologies in a variety of areas. Subgroups focus on making biomedical data available in RDF, working with biomedical ontologies, prototyping clinical decision support systems, working on drug safety and efficacy communication, and supporting disease researchers navigating and annotating the large amount of potentially relevant literature. Results We present a scenario that shows the value of the information environment the Semantic Web can support for aiding neuroscience researchers. We then report on several projects by members of the HCLSIG, in the process illustrating the range of Semantic Web technologies that have applications in areas of biomedicine. Conclusion Semantic Web technologies present both promise and challenges. Current tools and standards are already adequate to implement components of the bench-to-bedside vision. On the other hand, these technologies are young. Gaps in standards and implementations still exist and adoption is limited by typical problems with early technology, such as the need for a critical mass of practitioners and installed base, and growing pains as the technology is scaled up. Still, the potential of interoperable ...
